If you're considering opening your own fitness business to make more money, have a better lifestyle, and to reach more clients then odds are you're an entrepreneur at heart. The idea of starting your own business is very scary because you have so many things to consider, like coming up with a business idea, finding a location, hiring staff, create systems, dialing in your fitness marketing strategies, etc...

I just finished reading (listening actually) for the 2nd time the book "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber and decide to write a post about the power of the franchise model, especially if you are first time entrepreneur. The book pretty much shatters the idea of starting your business on your own with some pretty scary facts. Gerber mentions the failure-rate statistics for small business: 40% fail in 1 year. Of those who survive the 1st year, 80% fail in 5 years, and of those who survive the 1st 5 years, another 80% fail. In turn, in the franchise model 75% succeed the 1st 5 years. These facts give you a pretty good idea why most people fail in their 1st time small-business venture... They are trying to invent/re-invent the wheel! In other terms, they are trying to come up with models and systems that are already in place and working.

While I agree that most franchise models are expensive and hard to get approved for, Fit Body Boot Camp is neither. Not only that, there are no other fitness franchise that gets even close to the level of support that we at Fit Body Boot Camp give our owners.

Do you think finding and negotiating a lease for your business is difficult? It is! But not when you have an experienced team on your side to help and guide you through every step of the process.

That is probably one of the big reasons business fail right from the get go. A bad lease can be a very early kiss of death to your business. How about the task of design and building a professional looking and proven website for you to do business with?
